Download #540 - Hate Merch, (Non-Predator) and Institutional/Pedantic Failures
“Life’s too short to drink bad wine, when people are wine, and drinking is being near them and having them in your life.” Another wise and pithy quote from the mind of John Robins. You’d think that’s included in his wise and pithy autobiography about alcohol. In fact it’s not, because he gives them out for free here. Gratis.
Speaking of all the relevant pith, John’s a bestseller! Isn’t that neat. No. 2 General Hardback. And No. 1 if you include a vast variety of audio platforms which Big Bird Book won’t care to mention.
Elsewhere, Dave’s brought a present, a listener has been radicalised against Elis and there are yet more sackings in John’s crosshairs.
Plus, for the RSS & Patreon lot amongst you, you have been ringfenced! And in said ringfence the boys demonstrate their expertise of doing yet another incredibly easy to understand plug.
And do remember, t-shirts can be given to people for different reasons.
